Shankam (శంఖం)

Don't mistake it as English film seeing foreign locales,

this is a cent percent Telugu film,

who shall we see first? Hero or heroine?

Ladies first!

Watching these heroines don't think our heroine will be soft like them,

name is Mahalakshmi, generally girls tend to grieve when angry,

but when Mahalakshmi gets angry...

What's paining to pay the bill for food you ate, bloody?

Hit him...hit him...

Are you thinking who this boxing coach like man is?

His name is...

Take out money... - l'll introduce myself.

From a chilly seller in a Farmer's Market,

l've reached to the position of running a Andhra Mirchi hotel in Australia.

Who is this girl?

My brother's daughter. She came to study in Australia.

By the time she finished studies, she reached marriageable age.

She stayed back fearing her dad will force marriage on her in lndia.

By the way, did you pay you bill? - Oh no! l forgot!

l remember it...

Oh my God!

Sir, she's ravishing!

Who is she? - My wife!

Hubby!

What's the date today?

My mad girl! Why?

Customer on table 5 is asking for date!

Silly woman! ln English date means he's asking you to come with him.

Can l go with him?

lf you go now, will you come back by tomorrow morning?- Yeah!

l'll kill you!

Dear Mahalakshmi! - Yes, uncle!

To handle such a wild race horse, what a great jockey one must be!

Hey Veeraraghava Reddy! Didn't enter home like a thief,

walked in like a lord,

came to your town, entered your home,

standing in your hall,

if your mother had really delivered you in Rayalaseema,

if your father was really a man...

He's our hero! He's sleeping.

Till then let's meet another interesting character here.

Name is Krishna Rao, pet name is Kittu.

He has a specialty,

he does all that which no man on earth would do.

Lord Krishna, l made an appeal to get me married 25 years ago,

you didn't do it, after 25 years l'm asking to get my nephew married,

atleast do this, my Lord.

This home is full of stinking men only, please let in whiff of fresh air, like a woman.

l'm asking with all due respects, arrange my nephew's marriage,

if not...arrange mine!

Sorry my devotee!

Watching Telugu films all night and waking up late.

Dear Chandu! Wake up and take a morning peg.

Want me to sit?

Sat down!

Me...?

Mouth...

That...shut...go away..?

My fate!

His name is Seenu!

Came from Anakapalle to study in Australia.

Other than that he does everything else.

Why haven't you waken him up? What are you doing, uncle?

Oh my God! Why didn't you wake him up, uncle?

Come out in Telugu like that.

Blessed me?

Unable to scold you in Telugu, l said in English.

You wake him.

l must get in to wake him up.

l'm coming... - What did you tell him?

l'm coming, buddy.

l told him they are beating up Bobby in Olympic ground.

Does he love Bobby so much? - No, he loves beating others!

Chandu, l've given you a good offer. Fight well and get me good name.

Enter the battlefield, buddy!

Pick up weapon! Run slowly, l can't match you.

Name is Chandu, completed studies recently,

he worked hard to train himself in all martial arts,

like how a new husband would get frustrated if honeymoon is cancelled,

he too feels same if he can't use the martial arts he had learnt.

He has been trying to use it for many years now,

let's see what happens today!

Traffic must clear out on city roads,

rivers of blood must flow on roads...

What happened?

You said there will be a fight? - Fight will be there.

Don't get angry on me, there will be fight.

Bobby! Why did you stop fighting?

Ask them, what happened?

Please...fight each other...

Don't stop it, we've come from long distance.

l woke him from sleep, please fight...

Ask them!

Why aren't you fighting? - We reached a compromise.

Why compromise?

When l asked him why is he ogling my sister...- Then...?

He coolly told me to... ogle his sister.

What was your reply to him?

l liked the deal very much. - His sister...?

Though dark, she's stunning beauty!

God! Who will give me the chance to fight?

Kadapa...

Before l made him contest the election,

what did he promise to me, lawyer?

He swore on Gita... - Who is Gita?

Holy Bhagavadh Gita!

He swore to die than come back as a loser.

But he lost, right? - Ask him.

Hey! Will you die?

lt's routine to win or lose in elections.

Should one die for this?

l'm not at all sad on you for losing elections.

Please give me a smile!

Smile...smile please...

But you lost to the henchman of Sivaiah!

That's what hurt me severely.

Brother, phone. - Mine?

Where's brother? - You...? Are you still alive?

Give the phone to brother.

Sir, your younger brother on line.

Have you killed Sivaiah? - No.

He'll definitely die. You come here immediately.

l'll not come till l hear Sivaiah's death news.

Will not come...

Sivaiah...who's going to kill you?

What would you like to have?

Brandy or whisky or wine or vodka or beer or cocktail?

Uncle! Every family must have a man like you.

ln my home they ask for tea or coffee or buttermilk only,

They never ask for liquor.

Uncle, please adopt me... - l'll not take that risk.- Stop it!

l'm getting bored to have drinks without bashing up anyone, uncle.

l feel like l'm missing something in life.

l know what you want. - What is it?- Girl!

Uncle! Every mother & father should make you as their role model.

Uncle, you know exactly what a 26 year old man wants.

Like you give choice of many drinks,

give him choice of Chinese or Japanese...

l told him to marry.

Filthy... - l got it. You don't use it.

There are good proposals in this laptop, select one for you.

Cool down, want me to marry so young?

25 years ago, same dialogue and same expression.

l too said, want me to marry so young?

Now when l seek they say why do you want to marry?

Whatever you may say l'll not agree to marry.

lf l marry you off, my responsibility will be over.

Buddy, please understand the old man's heart.

Old man feels he can find a divorcee or battered spinster in your marriage.

This is the girl l told you about, - Let me see!

Her name is P. Susheela, she sings better than the original.

l don't want to listen song, uncle. - lt's okay.

Sing a great song dear, he must fall flat.

Come...come to romance me...

My life is yours, come to rule over it, my lord...

Come like my breath and heart beat...

Uncle...?

What are you hobbies?

ls my lipstick matching with my dress?

Bloody! Are you working?

ls my hairstyle matching my ear rings?

Would she match me? - Yes, she will. Good family.

Got little late.

Who is she? - Girl's mother.

Your children? - My husbands!

Who's the girl's father then?

ls she okay to you?

What...?

What type this time?

The groom!

She says okay to 2 persons also, fix her.

Rogue... - You mean...no need.

Uncle, accept her offer of discount.

What is she saying? - Didn't get her?

She's not Kate but call girl.

Why are you so tired, uncle? Did you've it with her?

lt's over! - l'll not agree.

How can you have it alone leaving us? Arrange one for us too, uncle.

She took my purse!

Wastrel... - l know, did l ask you?

Uncle, enough of this drama, you can't find a girl l like.

Tell me how would you like your girl to be.

Allah, the almighty, there's a girl in my dreams...

She's perfect paradigm of a girl...

Allah, the almighty, she's chewing my up...

When will l meet her?

Girl, you've filled all over my heart...

Girl, your thoughts are following me...

Teasing me....

My marriage has been fixed in heaven...

What's her native place? What's her full name?

Let's find the details of that Kohinoor diamond, uncle...

Let's hit the top gear...

Let's take chance again...

Let's spread a net and find her, come uncle...

Would she use kohl? - Don't know...

Would she use lipstick? - Don't know...

Would she use perfume? - l can't say...

Would she be simple? - Let's see...

Would her eyes be like lotus?
